Restarting course
Aug 16, 2019
Hello
I have created a 7 slide Fact or Myth slider interaction, which has been embedded into a 360 course (no variables just slider triggers).
The 1st slide has a Start button to commence course.
The last slide has a Home button linked to the 1st slide Start button i.e., intention for learners to restart course (without exiting the Rise course) if they wish.
On the 1st slide Start button, I created trigger restart course when user clicks Start Button. However, the 5 slider interactions do not reset.
What am I doing wrong?

Use the “Restart Course” trigger on the button the user clicks on your last slide. That trigger will reset all and return the learner to the beginning of the course. Also, check the revisit properties of the slide that has the interactions. You might need to set that as “resume to initial state”.
Thank you Melanie. I had tried it on the Home button and that didnt work. However, the revisit properties of the slides is a good idea. Thank you.
Edit - nope this isnt doing it either :-(
Hi Robert,
I would have thought adjusting your slide properties would work as well based on your description.
With your permission, I'd like to take a look at your project file (the .story file is fine) to investigate what's happening. You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.
Hello Leslie - I'd given up, so thanks for your response :-)
I attached the Storyline 360 file.
Hi Robert,
I jumped in and took a look at your file. I understand now why changing your slide properties to Reset to initial state wasn't solving your issue. That was only one piece of the puzzle!
It looks like there are variables attached to the sliders, and because variables control elements across slides, you'll have to "reset" the slider variables as well.
Along with setting your slides to Reset to initial state upon revisit, I added a trigger to set the slider to "neutral" when the timeline starts.
I've attached the updated file for you. Hope this helps!
Ah! The old slider was the issue :-)
Nice detective work there Ren. Thanks so much for your efforts (and Melanie and Leslie as well).
